What is a “movement point system”?

This made me want to both :love: and :cry:, so I just (y), because I get it.

What's that thing where a poster is taking both sides of an argument no one else in the thread seems to be making?

Well, it didn't blow up the campaign, but it certainly disrupted it some. The drawing of the cards (see OP for their results) went as follows: Fin, the halfling gloomstalker ranger (who I knew would not be able to resist) went first, drawing two cards: 1. Well - learns a cantrip! (in this...

I don't disagree, but I really want the players to go into this knowing the potential scope, so they don't feel "gotcha'ed" when something really bad happens. Of my current group of four, I have 1 player I know for certain no matter what is gonna draw at least one card (probably more) b/c that...

I don't disagree, but the cards are being pulled a fortnight before the next full moon and right at the beginning of at least a week of planned downtime, so if someone chooses this one they will have it for a week at the most - and a lot of that will be during overland travel. Yeah. I am...

OK, so the tl;dr version of this post is the simple poll question, "Will using the Deck of Many Things in my 5E game blow up my campaign?" The party is 4th level, about to advance to 5th. My games usually end before 10th level. The longer explanation is as follows: So, I received the Book of...

Prepping for Game Day!

I voted "A year or so" but it could just as easily be "a few months" because of the weird time dilation that happens when you are 12 - but I tried both Star Frontiers and Marvel Super Heroes within a year of starting D&D.

The PCs got here, saw this, figured it was the sahuagin lair they were looking for, but decided to hide and stake it out. . . . saw a bunch of sahuagin come out, and decided to leave with this confirmation to inform their allies for a full assault. Edit: the foliage at the top hides double doors.

My response is a home brew one (no surprise there) but what I did was give each of the 13 possible Gods (in my setting) a cleric can follow its own spell list. And then based on domain choice (i limited it to 7 total but each god only offers 2 or 3 to their clerics) they get bonus spells. So...

I just finished running UK4 - When a Star Falls for my in-person group. . .well, I started with the original module and the QftIS came out about halfway through so I used some of that as well - though, as usual, I also added a bunch of my own stuff to make it fit setting and campaign. Anyway, I...

Over on the “How was your last session?” thread I posted the most recent summary that Zoom AI came up with. I had to clean it up for name spelling, conflation of character/player names, and a bunch of redundancy.

The last session ended with the party’s boat stuck on some rocks and damaged as they tried to portage around a small waterfall. This is the summary provided by Zoom AI tools. Quick recap The Revenants of Saltmarsh's river journey was interrupted when their boat became damaged at a waterfall...

If you don't want to do it by # of battles, maybe an amount of XP individually earned? Or two to four milestones, if you award XP that way. Just spitballin'

:oops:o_O

When I first discovered Eric Noah’s Unofficial 3rd edition News (the precursor to these forums) I was on the cusp of 30. This summer I will turn 54 (and for about a decade in there I didn’t visit these boards at all)
